Sing To God

Cardiacs · 3 likes

5/5

Wow, great album from a band that I have never heard of. Finally, once every 100 records I can find something fresh and exciting. On the downside - one of the worst album covers I have ever seen in my life.

The Mantle

Agalloch · 2 likes

5/5

Easily my favourite album by Agalloch, opus magnum, top 10 albums on my shelf. I've heard Desolation Song live 15-ish years ago, amazing concert, great memories. Forever in my heart <3

Frengers: Not Quite Friends But Not Quite Strangers

Mew · 1 likes

1/5

Not something I would listen to on my own volition. Somehow the combination of vocal and music is making me hate this album. No danish pastry for me today.

Nightbirds

LaBelle · 1 likes

4/5

Cool album, some great songs and an absolute banger, pretty good!

Thunder And Consolation

New Model Army · 1 likes

4/5

Quite uncommon album on this list - good rock album from 80s. Not my favourite vocal, but the music stands out among the rezt of rock from the era. Very solid record.

Frengers: Not Quite Friends But Not Quite Strangers

All Ratings

Sometimes I Sit And Think, And Sometimes I Just Sit

Courtney Barnett

4/5

Good start to a second part of this list! Never heard of Courtney before, but seems like she has a nice, goofy style of music and lyrics. Very exciting first few songs, but things became quite depressing soon after, as was the idea, I guess. Cool idea anyway, looking forward to hear more from her down under.

Join Us

They Might Be Giants

1/5

That's definitely not a band I would listen to, unless already being waterboarded, for some additional mental suffering. Soft indie rock with nothing to hook on to.

Continuum

John Mayer

3/5

Started very promising, ended as usual. John Mayer is a great songwriter when it comes to one, singular song. As soon as you listen to two or more, you're going down. Too sweet and a bit boring for me.

All Hail West Texas

The Mountain Goats

2/5

Fun lyrics, but the music and vocal spoil the fun. Probably I'm not enough American or Texan to feel the melancholy in the songs. But lyrics save the day (slightly).

Sing To God

Cardiacs

5/5

Whipped Cream & Other Delights

Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass

3/5

Nice soundtrack to a western taking place in 40s Mexico. I think I have even heard Clint Eastwood mumbling something through his poncho. Nice album cover, interesting music, but too quirky for me.

Contra

Vampire Weekend

3/5

Cousins elevates this album to a strong 3, but the rest of the record is the weakest in VW discography, in my opinion of course. Simply enough I like the band, but not Contra.

Frengers: Not Quite Friends But Not Quite Strangers

Mew

1/5

Not something I would listen to on my own volition. Somehow the combination of vocal and music is making me hate this album. No danish pastry for me today.

Angel Dust

Faith No More

5/5

Very easily one of my favourite albums of all time, LP is sitting proudly on the shelf. I love Mike Patton and everything that he is creatively attached to. Caffeine is the jam.

Things We Lost In The Fire

Low

4/5

I'm a fan of Low as every sane person that walks on Earth, but I just can't understand how are you able to listen to their whole album in one sitting if you're not fully depressed already. Great songs, great style, but one track at the time, couple days break, and then another one. In limited exposure - I love it.

Please Don't Take Me Back

Martha

3/5

One the bright side - it's good to know that there are less known, underground bands around with a distinct sound and established fanbase. But unfortunately, why it has to be so boring? Every music video was at least 10x more interesting than the song itself. Cool idea, but just average at best.

Transatlanticism

Death Cab for Cutie

2/5

Wow, that was a boring one. By the time I got to self titled song I was very close to surrender, and the only single I know didn't really help. I don't feel this band nor this album, just a boring slugfest to me.

Shack-man

Medeski, Martin & Wood

3/5

Nice and ejoyable, but pretty forgettable album. Not my kind of jam.

Les deux doigts dans la prise

Les sheriff

1/5

Great, punk rock, from early nineties, live album, in french. Interesting piece of musical trivia, absolutely terrible piece of music. I think if I would like to design my least liked album ever, Les Sheriff would be a great contender.

City Of Evil

Avenged Sevenfold

4/5

Nice album, good opening song, and then repeat of it times 10. Classic 2000s metal album. If you were teenager at the time, this record will stay with you for a long time. In my case I liked different bands, but it still brings some melancholy. Cool stuff.

Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum

Tally Hall

3/5

Actually nice vocals on this album, everyone is definitely above average, but unfortunately the instrumental part is as average as it gets. Nice record to listen to in the background, but nothing more exciting than that.

Romance

Fontaines D.C.

4/5

Cool album, interesting band, will look into them a bit more.

Brand New Eyes

Paramore

4/5

Cool, teenage rock, that still sounds pretty good. Not my favourite band, but very relaxing music.

Tomb

Angelo De Augustine

1/5

I'm definitely not a fan of this drawled out style of singing. It reminds me of Bon Iver, but without any interesting music and with a significantly worse voice. Few songs and I'm out, never to be seen again.

Live in San Francisco

Thee Oh Sees

1/5

No more punk, please. We've been through enough already.

Nightbirds

LaBelle

4/5

Cool album, some great songs and an absolute banger, pretty good!

Script Of The Bridge

The Chameleons

4/5

Enjoyable 80s album, a bit of a rarity on this list. Good a side of the record and a full on snoozefest on the b side. I'll give it a four, because.. why not?

Fashion Nugget

CAKE

2/5

Frustrating album. Quirky style, all over the place genre-wise, boring vocal, recipe for obscurity.

Rose Mountain

Screaming Females

2/5

Unless it's black metal I'm not into screaming females. Boring and uninventive.

Wildflowers

Tom Petty

1/5

Not a fan of Tom Petty or his style of music. I had a hard time getting through few of his songs, it's just too much work for me. Sorry, Tom.

HELLYEAH

2/5

Hell yeah, what a band! Glory days of Pantera are long gone, and what's left? Boredom. It reminds me of Motorhead, when I wasn't able to differentiate between songs, they all sound exactly the same. The riffs are simple and unattractive, lyrics very Texan, feeling unobserved. Waste of time.

Phantom Power

The Tragically Hip

1/5

I've heard about this band quite a lot, symbol of Canada, and so on. This was the forst time listening to their album and well, I'm straight up disappointed. Pretty boring, not my style, very uneventful record. Waste of time.

Dimanche à Bamako

Amadou & Mariam

3/5

Okay album, not my style, but enjoyable.

Savage Sinusoid

Igorrr

5/5

Great album, the only one not too weird, nicely balanced styles. Starts very edgy, but surprisingly it should be accessible for fans of many genres. Not a fan of the band outside of that album though. And I would never thought I would find this record on the list!

Thunder And Consolation

New Model Army

4/5

Quite uncommon album on this list - good rock album from 80s. Not my favourite vocal, but the music stands out among the rezt of rock from the era. Very solid record.

Grand Prix

Teenage Fanclub

2/5

Boring album, outdated style, bit of a waste of time.

Are You Shpongled?

Shpongle

5/5

Super easy 5 stars for the album, so many good memories from a music festivals when I was a teenager, liatening to Divine Moments of Truth. Great song, good album, amazing memories.

The Universe Smiles Upon You

Khruangbin

3/5

All vibes, ultimate form over essence. So if it's not your style (it isn't), then there's just nothing else on this record. Hotel lounge music in an exotic country.

The Mantle

Agalloch

5/5

Easily my favourite album by Agalloch, opus magnum, top 10 albums on my shelf. I've heard Desolation Song live 15-ish years ago, amazing concert, great memories. Forever in my heart <3
